distribution company Dunder Mifflin. He has at times risen to the position of acting Branch Manager of the Scranton branch, but often serves as a second or third

Dwight is a former volunteer sheriff deputy, but had to step down after breaking his pledge in order to help his boss, Michael, illegally pass a drug test by giving
break-up. He resides on his family's beet farm, alongside his cousin, Mose. Dwight has affinities for paintball, Battlestar Galactica, ping pong, survivalism,
Goju Ryu karate, and weapons. He also has a preference to ride in the back seat of cars behind the driver because it is the safest location in a car.
